A reckless mistake landed Jacob “Jay” Mathews behind bars,
but it was his inescapable guilt that led him to God. Upon his release, with
the help of a spiritual mentor and friend, he strives to move forward with his
life. Determined to graduate college, get a job, and follow God’s word, the
last thing Jay needs or wants is a girlfriend. Until he meets Lacey Bennett.
When fervent prayers for reconciliation between her
divorced parents go unanswered, and her older sister tragically dies, Lacey
questions how God could allow such tragedies to befall her family. Turning her
back on her past and God, she focuses on her future. College and theater are
her ultimate goals; falling for the one type of guy she swore to avoid---a
Christian---is not. No matter how much she wants to resist, Jay is
irresistible.
As their relationship deepens, Jay struggles with Lacey’s
unresolved anger and her unwillingness to even discuss faith. All he wants to
do is reveal how God changed his life, but doing so would mean revealing his
status as an ex convict. Finally, as she begins to rekindle her faith, past
secrets collide, threatening to destroy everything they’ve built. Now, Jay must
rely on his faith more than he ever has before. Can they learn to forgive---or
is their relationship fractured beyond repair?
